>>103311969
It's probably fine if you're running a late DDR4 platform (c. Intel/AMD 400-series) at 3200 or below. Problem is it'll be difficult to get the "same set" not least because manufacturers like to swap ICs around in their cheapo kits.
Personally I just bought a fresh kit and sold the old one. I'd recommend you do the same.

I have a msi b550 tomahawk. I was replacing my gpu and I noticed in the 2nd x16 slot (pcie 3) is pinned for x8 (pins half way up the slot, confirmed with an x8 sized card I have) even though the specs say it runs at x4 speed. does this make sense?

>>103312065
no

>>103311952
If your aim is 3.3ghz then just buy a ch341a and flash asscock's aqua vbios. this way you wont have to mess with evc which is much more annoying (altough it can achieve higher results).
also dont even try it without decent cooling. ptm7950 and deshrounding is the minimum, otherwise the card will throttle. try to aim for ~2800mhz on memory with fast timings for best results and as far as gcd goes, that just depends on your luck and how low you can push the voltage.

This would only be worth it if it would push you from like 50fps to 60ish. Ocing for 10 more fps from 120 is just fucking stupid. Limit it to 72fps and then use frame gen because that was what it was actually made for.

that's what I figured. directly copied from the spec page on msi:
>Expansion Slot
>1x PCIe 4.0/ 3.0 x16 slot (PCI_E1) [1]
>1x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (PCI_E3), supports x4 speed [2]
>2x PCIe 3.0 x1 slots
>[1] The supported specification depends on installed processor.
>[2] When installing devices in M.2_2, PCI_E2 & PCI_E3 slots at the same time, PCI_E3 slot will be unavailable, and M2_2 slot only supports PCIe x2.
so it basically only says that it runs at 4x and is unavailable if you populate too many slots. yet you can see very clearly even on their own pictures that indeed the second slot is wired for 8x.
could it just be a mistake or bad translation? maybe something to do with back compat with pcie 1 and 2?

A nas around
5600x + asrock b550m board with vrm heatsink (steel legend, pro4 or wifi se).

vs

7600 + msi b650m gaming wifi / b650m hdv?

The cost of the 7600 is double the price of 5600. So it smart? I'm not sure. Should I even be building around am5? 5600(x) seems like a good chip with ecc. 7600 might be the cheapest chip with ecc. am5 might get more updates, but its still expensive. Which one would you choose anons?

The problem with buying used is I have to find a way to sell the old gpu, ram, case and stuff.

>>103312267
For a NAS? Get the cheapest, lowest power CPU possible. Network storage doesn't require a beefy CPU.

>>103312267
I would get something like a 12100 for a NAS

>>103312087
It's on a scale.
Ideally you want:
>Same ICs
>Same capacity
>Same speed
>Same timings
>Same PCB layout
>Same manufacturer
With all those your chance of instability at XMP speed is low(est). As you remove them the chance goes up. Another way to say it is that your max theoretical stable speed goes down.
Additionally, Corsair is notorious for swapping ICs around. The kit you bought in 2019(?) might be Micron 8Gb Rev. E but the one you buy today, even the exact same model, might use Hynix CJR.
Again, it'll probably be fine because your PC has a decent memory subsystem and 3200 isn't that fast by late DDR4 standards. The question is whether you want to run the risk for the sake of $10? $20?
In fact, that exact kit is currently $40 according to PCPP (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/p6RFf7/) so you wouldn't even be saving any vs. the cheapest 32GB kits right now.

>>103312267
Neither is great. 7600 is way overkill, unless you want to run a big Minecraft server or something too, and the 5600X has no IGP which makes board selection and setup a pain. You'd need to find a board that can both run headless and do ECC (many will boot, few will correct errors). If you know those boards will fit the bill then, of the two, go 5600(X). My actual recommendation would be an old used HEDT setup if you absolutely require ECC or a >2020 i3 if not.

you don't need ECC unless you're backing up complex math/science. i bet you're going to use it as a Plex and backup and you think a single bit flip will ruin the entire backup. even though you should always compare checksums and be backing up regularly so you don't have to even care if it's the most up to date if it DID bitflip

It would make setup and board selection easier but you should then double check ECC support. APUs , being monolithic, have different IO capabilities.

>No graphics is no problem...
Some boards will refuse to POST if no display adapter is present. It's just another thing you need to check. Or work around it with a used GT710 or something.
IMO you want some sort of GPU because, this being a home server, you'll have a far easier time troubleshooting stuff if you can just go hook up a monitor to it.
In any case, for both ECC support and headless operation I recommend checking out the L1Techs forums.

oh shit a bunch of oled deals just dropped I can't decide if I should get a qd-oled or woled

then woleds are worse looking and more expensive but also don't cause eyestrain, plus they have that 480hz meme mode that I'll probably use on my indieshit games

ryzen g's do not support ecc in any form unless they are pro models. honestly a 5600x will be super overkill for a nas that is going to be a nas nothing else, but it's cheap and quite power efficient and leaves you a little bit of headroom if you change your mind in the future and want to add more functionality. to give you an idea, my setup is 12 disk split in 3 z2 zvols with 32gb ddr3 and an fx6300 (I've posted about it here before), and I've never seen my cpu exceed 40% under load, except when jellyfin was first indexing my library and generating chapter frames.

I honestly don't get the question of "why do you need X?"
It seems to me it's a question posed to trying to get people to step in line with current market offerings. The DIY marketspace doesn't have much ECC so you must justify ECC because the market can't be wrong with the majority of systems not having ECC.

Yes indeed but please understand that "support" could mean different things to you and I vs. the manufacturer. By their standards "supports" could mean "will boot with" whereas we actually want error correction. Ideally you'd find a test of the board that verified error correction via benchmark (again: L1Techs).

>I wanted to go 5600 because it might be more power efficient because new generation?
No if anything the APU will be more efficient. Less IO die overhead. Earlier APU gens (2000/3000) used the last-gen lithography so might be less efficient than their CPU counterparts depending on loading.

can someone give me a guestimation of what they think the power jump is from a 5700x3d to 7800x3d and 9800x3d. like, the powerspike doesn't justify the cost right if you're only playing shit like shooters and mobashit

I definitely agree ECC support should be more widespread and, critically, transparent but I do still think that it's a bit overkill for a home NAS.
I suppose the key aspect is that I want this anon to actually build a NAS because they're really useful. If he spends all his time researching the, unnecessarily difficult, process of getting proper ECC support instead of building the damn thing then we've both failed in the /real/ objective.

>>103312661
Jeetland desu :(

>>103312584
i am one of the anons that doesn't think that he needs ECC. It would be ideal if everything had ECC but he's going to be looking for a cheap AM4 board that supports ECC and he might as well just spend his time better elsewhere. if he really needed ECC then it wouldn't be an issue of going for an old Xeon and just running the NAS from that.

>>103312606
Also setting screensaver to blank black is decent workaround for no auto suspend.

Text rendering is better on LCD because OLED panels use exotic subpixel arrangements that aren't compatible with current subpixel rendering tech. That said, it's not a massive issue with high enough pixel density as long as you switch to grayscale rendering – you'll only get weird artifacts if your OS still renders text as if you were on an RGB LCD.

Is USB 3.0 not enough for fancy gaming mice? I got a wireless Razer and if I plug the dongle into one of the front ports it sometimes disconnects.

>The 4650g
Oh my bad I had the 5600G in mind for some reason.
Seeing as 3000/4000/5000 were on the same node the APU should be generally less power hungry than the CPU versions. Idle consumption is going to be your biggest drain in a server so the APUs have an edge.

>I was hoping to not shell the bux for steel legend

if it only happens with the front ports then its the ports. if it happens with the back ports then its the device or mobo itself. in your bios should be usb settings or whatever its different for each mobo read your manual.

since the sub $150 x570 market is dead save exactly 1 option, is this a good board? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qkLwrH/asrock-x570-pro4-atx-am4-motherboard-x570-pro4
I would get a b550 for 20 to 50 bucks less, but I want all of the slots to be gen 4 and you know, actually usable, because I plan on actually using all of the slots and pcie lanes I possibly can which is quite limited on b550.

>>103312819
It still happens VERY rarely with the back ports but I blame that on Wi-Fi interference (router is like 10 inches from my PC).
>>103312826
Yeah, I don't use profiles or the extra buttons so I just disabled them. Just set it to 800DPI and 1000Hz.

>>103312846
That's a wicked board anon. Asrock has pretty much nailed the am4 and am5 boards.

the ch341a is a tool to flash bioses and there are plenty of resources online that teach you how to use it. Its not hard, but you do need a secondary pc or laptop.
I doubt you actually hit 3.1ghz with at stock, but the aqua vbios is about a 20% increase in power consumption (reaching up to 560w ppt) and should give a 10%+ boost in performance.
Wether its worth it is up to you since you stated that you wanted to reach 3.3ghz core. If you are chasing high bench numbers it is. If you want to break records go for evc2.

Unironically: get a second hand AM4 board with a 5700X3D and 32GB DDR4 and invest more in a better GPU. The GPU is much more important than AM5/DDR5. Your budget is too tight to go AM5. Make it 1500 and I'd say AM5.

No, it will have only 12GB VRAM and probably be slightly slower too.

>>103313562
Another reason to get the 4070TiS now is that the 5070/S/Ti won't release before April '25. If you can wait, do it. If not, buy.

Is it worth waiting for the new GPUs if I'm looking for good value and don't care about gaytracing and frame faking? Basically, will anything change in the rasterization performance per dollar market?

>>103313644
Yes, newer will be lower power consumption as it will be on better tsmc node and design changes. There will be a performance increase if Njudea feels like giving it to you. They generally give everyone a little bit of generation performance, but not too much, that is reserved for servers or the top card.

If your motherboard has internal headers for USB4 you can connect them to the USB-C port of your case (even if it is labeled 3.1/2) but you need specific USB4 cables for this or else bandwidth will be crippled. USB4 as such is downward compatible and uses standard USB-C ports.

All of them require an AM5 platform. Imagine having a premium AM4 board with loads of qt RAM already and all you need/want is multicore power. Why not get a cheaper 5950x if you can't reduce income tax by upgrading?

Loads of people are still on Zen2 or low-end Zen3 like 5600x and conclude it's wiser to max out the AM4 platform than to jump head first into the new shit.

Posted one or two threads back about looking for PC upgrade recommendations, primarily gonna be using it for 2D + 3D rendering, animation, and a little VR on the side
One thing is I'm unsure if I have the correct 3060 graphics card picked out, not really helpful that they have a half dozen different kinds of 3060s
Anything not listed has already been purchased, power supply is 650W

>>103314947

>get the same ram as you've already got, never mix 2 different kinds
I meant to zero that one out too since I have both sets already lol, and they were more of a placeholder anyway just to show storage, don't worry they're both 3200mHz I just couldn't find it on the list

>>103314968
>korean webcomics
i too love nikke

>>103314987
3060 is fine for 1080p but you'll need to be patient for rendering and VR will be compromised outside of low-poly stuff. The Ventus is one of the lower-end model, it won't explode on you but the cheap cooling can get a bit noisy if you start overstressing it.
360mm aio is overkill and that unit is too cheap for me to trust it with running liquid inside my PC, a twin tower cooler like the other guy recommended is more than enough for the 5700X3D Mine doesn't throttle at full load with Noctua's D12L.
And do as he said for the RAM, especially with those mismatched latencies. Get a 4x8GB kit if possible.

>>103314818
They're not compatible. 44mm and taller RAM you usually want an AIO or small cooler.

>>103315074
The RAM was a mistake on my part as I said above, all 4 are 3200 mHz
So should I do a 40 series GPU instead? I was told AMD was cheaper and comparable but there were a ton of compatability issues. VR isn't especially high priority since it'll basically be just VR Chat with friends occasionally, and yeah I'll switch to an air cooler instead which is significantly cheaper than water cooled.

>>103315113
4060 isn't much of an improvement over 3060, you'd need to go 4070 or higher to see a real difference. Keep the 3060 if you want to stay within a budget, just know you won't be able to run demanding games at 1440p or higher.
AMD won't cut it if you want to use it for rendering, all relevant hardware renderers (like Blender's) are optimized for NVidia hardware.

>>103313885
Kek, kinda true. Ideally I'd just get a 4K 27 inch screen and repurpose my current 1440p one as a second monitor, but if I go 4k, I kind of want it to be OLED. The problem is that I spend most of my time on Teams, VS Code and 4chan and I fear I might get burn-in.

QD-OLED burns in slower because the blue OLED it uses goes through QD which amplifies the brightness so it's more efficient and consumes less power and burns in slower too because the OLED doesn't need to get so bright.

thanks fren, appreciate the help

I've already built my computer why am I still here

If I'm reapplying paste to the gpu do I need to clean the mess that was the original paste? Or just off the top of the chip itself? Also, new paste is all non-conductive as well unless I buy something specifically conductive, right? It's all in these tiny resistors that look super delicate.

Worth going for the ASRock Taichi Lite over the Nova or Steel Legend? There's a 20€ price difference between Taichi Lite and Nova (~400€), while the Steel Legend is much cheaper at about 260€.

I like overclocking so I think I might enjoy playing around with the external clock gen on the Taichi (never had one before), but am not sure how fun Zen 5 is to fuck around with. Apparently 9800x3D has good OC capabilities?
Nova seems pointless at this price point so if OCing isn't fun nor worth it, might as well spare all the cash and get the Steel Legend.

>>103316747
depends on the monitor size, the panel type, the coating
34 uw is like 27 I guess
if you want sharper you want higher res and more ppi too...

>>103316888
so 34UW is the same image quality as 27 in 1440p display?

but it can't just be about ppi, right? because a 24 inch 4k monitor has a high PPI but isn't any visually better than a 32 in 4k monitor despite having a higher PPI

>>103317097

>>103316993
Yeah, 34'' UW has the same pixel density as 27'' 16:9. It isn't exactly about PPI but rather about PPD, which is roughly PPI multiplied by the distance between your eyes and the monitor. If you sit as far from the UW display as you would from the 16:9, they'll appear as smooth. A 34'' UW panel is basically a widened 27'' one.

>>103316585

I wouldn't even call it a skill at this point. I've managed to get 4 out of the 5 cheapo cards that I ordered up and running, including a 2060.
You literally just diddle the pcb with your multimeter until you see an anomaly, you check the schematic and follow the current line until you find the source of the problem (it's a short 90% of the time) and you replace the faulty component that usually costs less than the $5 shipping cost and done.
Even all the hair thin traces running in one of the pcb layers can be repaired if your fine motor skills aren't dogshit.
It's piss easy monkey brain work.

If you can afford a 5090 might as well wait as 27" 4K models will be out fairly soon according to leaks (probably announcements at CES) that should massively increase PPI clarity. Some models should also finally be DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 compliant so full 4k@240Hz without DSC shenanigans.

Also Samsung will be first with a 27" 4K model with better color gamut/volume from QD but it still expected to be triangle-RGB. LG's true RGB 4K 27" panel will be much later in 2025 and unless they go full tandem may still suffer worse color performance. Also @ 16- PPI the text fringing from non-RGB subpixel rendering on Samsung's panels may finally be completely fixed as it was already noted to be neglible on the 32" 4K models this year.

>Get a QD-OLED
>Can't even have the stupid RGB in my keyboard turned on because it directly reflects against the screen like a mirror
I wish you guys had warned me about this. I should've gotten WOLED.
You'd think these monitor review channels would show what something as simple as keyboard lights can do on these screens instead of just using a fuck you huge industrial light.

increased pixel density should be plenty obvious to see. did you upgrade from a small 1080p monitor to a huge 4k one?
as for refresh rate, I'm pretty sure benefits over, say, 144hz mostly relate to things you can't see but can benefit from in niche cases such as lower latency
